"She was on her way with her sister to the Cathedral, when she was stricken with apoplexy... She was born in Baltimore and was a daughter of the late Charles F. and Marie Eulalie LaCoste Pochon, who fled from the Island of San Domingo, in the West Indies, at the time of the slave uprising, under Toussaint L’Ouverture, a century ago".

This collection consists of a leather-bound Bible owned by Scott C. Harrison, a Black attorney, in the 1880s-1910s. Inside the Bible are clippings, hand-written notes, lists of family genealogy, and a pamphlet for a social club meeting.
